Premium Member Literary Feud Among - Pt 1
Prelude to what…..

I see you,  /  you / yes, come into my…… 
laboratory of alchemist mystical languaging.
where arsenic spills into the whirlpool of thought 
and savage syntax shatter like glass on concrete.

Where Titans clash their pens
both spear and shield
signifier and signified in eternal...

Premium Member Mediocrity Monstrosity
A glint in the black, like stars
    Pearly, polished, pointy peaks of a fiend
      Fangs of self-deprecation, puncturing every effort
    Coursing the flow of doubt, discouragement and defeat
I may not see your face, beast,...

It’s May 18th, 2022. I’m poised, alone, heart pounding, in front of my laptop, waiting for courage, my finger hovering over the return key, like a child hoping the timing of my keystroke will bring me luck.

I took this summer off - which drove my...

Same Persona

Tho’ the soft voice has an aristocratic tone,
the haughty attitude ain’t no street gutter different:
Being rude ... dropping shade

Dark keystroke mood, 
shallow indigo indifference shown
Another bad online day made

Royal pain of a social media princess
giving good grief
With a sunny disposition staged

That same persona
is acting out...

Premium Member Masterful Paint Strokes of Artistic Hand
Masterful paint strokes of his artistic hand.
Should use zinnias or roses that are banned?
Decides upon an honored verdant ginger jar
Muse stirs up imagination from afar 

Maestro’s every keystroke magnificently planned. 
Masterful paint strokes of his artistic hand 
Waiting now for proud pink zinnias to come...

Digital Footprints
one night i dreamt i was surfing in cyberspace &
many images flickered in Adobe Flash
with every movement made, every keystroke &
slide of the mouse to & fro,
i hadn’t a clue (in real time), but i knew 
that there were centillions of digital footsteps 
being made...

Why should the mimic apologize? 
Where are the cupboards?
Where are the wages?
Where is the tailor? I had
no use for algebra, I knew it-
in as much incognito on a prefabricated track,
in order that....
free thinking then supposing,
til warning for dreamless help provided,
a typewritten treat from this meditative...

A Life In the Cloud
In a childhood long past
We saw images in the sky
And we made up stories 
As the clouds flew by.

Our imaginations soared
On a bright summer day
We lay in the mown grass
Our mind left to stray.

Now thoughts are stored 
In a cloud, like a yoke

Typewriter
A fresh college graduate looking for a job
To undergo trials one of which is the typing test
Handed over a text passage to pound on the keypad
Typing 40 to 50 words per minute, I needed to press

Facing a manual typewriter, rested fingers to home keys
Try to...

Come Closer
”.... taste me….”

tell me how
in a keystroke
to make you come…

~ dripp
into me

”...with a devil’s tongue…”

suck it!

I’m undone!
and HOW
dare you
came!
don’t run
now coward
it’s ME…
your game
shreds a fabric
to burn a name

”...I want fire….”

eyes
flashed sin
seeking out
what’s really been
known
for all of time
~ this one
of a man kind
wants a she
to be...

Cyber Sex
I see you flicker across my screen
I know I’m in for another round
The way you touch me gives me chills
All this without a single sound.

But OH when my eyes I do close
I have found my paradise in you
This thing we call cyber sex
Is very exciting...

Hacking Your Carnival
I'm hacking into your carnival heart

I've reached the land of flying

Program codes and the umbrella of life

Allow the righteous keystroke

To reassemble loving proportions

 

In turn

I will give you the source code

Return time to its maker

Finding sunken sprawling libraries

Untorched and glowing for poised

Truest traveler on the...

Digital Distance
We are caught up in this digital distance
Tangled in strings of binary code
Texting in sequence but in silence
Transmitting thoughts on keystroke roads.

We are caught up in tactile indigence
An impoverished need for human touch
We receive electronic mental perceptions
By fonts implied as such.

We are caught up in...

Dulcis Poetas
the headiness of now
swirl of keystroke and ideal
new pages
new thoughts
flying on ether
buoyed by excited neutrons
flared by the plasma
of a thousand faceless pens
type it
spill it
splash it on out with a careless eye
falling slow on burning diodes
bundled up
like a mind's autumn harvest
fed to a soul's hearth
dripping with...

Technology

We are 'da bomb'

No poetry here, I'm literal

Earth-to-space-to-earth in a split

There's no crack or crevice a bug can hide

(Thusly, we decide who's insect ... or viable asset)

Eye in the sky?!? An eagle has nothing on us

Day or night, peacetime or conflict time 

One tiny skin-to-plastic...
